Ogun to partner Chinese investors

The Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun has said his government will continue to welcome investors to enhance socio-economic development, urging the China/Africa Investment Club to present a blueprint for collaboration with the state.

Amosun stated this while receiving a delegation of the group, made up of conglomerate of business concerns in China, in his office.

He said Ogun is fast becoming the investors haven with the advantage of suitable land, nearness to Lagos, the nation’s commercial capital and the gateway to the West/African Sub-regional market, among others.

“In Ogun State, we have the largest concentration of industries in the whole of Nigeria and we also have different industrial zones. Since we assumed office, we have been investing heavily in agriculture, particularly in the production of cocoa, cassava, cotton and rice. We have also invested in real estate and this government is creating all the necessary enabling environment for business to thrive’’, Amosun said.

Earlier, the leader of the Chinese delegation, Mr William Wang said the team made the state its first port of call in Nigeria because of the outstanding performance of the governor and his team.

He assured Amosun that soon, the firms under the China/Africa Investment Club, would partner with the state government in the execution of various projects.
